Description:
2003 saw Hourglass move production from Pride Mountain to our new facility with Robert Foley and Switchback Ridge. As a result, the ’03 vintage did not get oak treatment until much later in the aging cycle. Early tastings indicated an immature wine with elevated sweet oak profile and lighter texture (absent were the traditional Hourglass markers). Recent tastings show that in the past six months this wine has integrated beautifully, picking up texture and aromatics, thus making it somewhat of a late bloomer. The signature Hourglass aromatics of black licorice, pomegranate, and eucalyptus, are now well integrated with the classic sweet coffee/toffee of our oak regime. The ’03 vintage is not as massive texturally as 2002, but is more along the lines of the traditional elegance and balance that Hourglass is known for. In short, another beautiful representation of this special vineyard and Bob Foley’s deft hand as winemaker.
